Hi,
Sorry if we appear slow on adding new features. We are working as fast as our resources enable us.
We spent the better part of the last 6 months improving the performance of the events calendar and were not working on adding any new features. We have since started working on new features and hope to release many new ones in our first release of the year in a couple months.
Thanks for referencing that post in Uservoice as well and it is something we are still looking to add, but if you take the total votes of 90 that is not even in the top 20 of requested features. We are not ignoring any ones request, but at the same time to reach them all right away would increase the cost of the events calendar beyond what most people are willingly to pay for plugins.
The only thing I can really say about new features is we are working on many of them now, especially the shortcodes, but unable to release any information about when they might come out until we are done testing and know they will be in the release.
Let me know if you have any follow up questions.
Thanks
